Slamming together the rampant commercialism of custom car culture and adrenaline sports; the tribal totem traditions of the Pacific Northwest Native Americans; and the popular culture of Southern California's surf focused lifestyles, R. Nelson Parrish remakes, now historic, Minimalist hybrid objects of painting and sculpture. Implementing racing stripes as a signifier, the work is an inquiry into nature and the synthetic through the scopes of color and motion. The result: a contextualization that is greater than the sum of the parts.
